The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, how's it going everybody ? It's Mr.Wong here. Don't ya hate doing something but in the end something happened and you had to start again from scratch ? I'm talking about putting a lot of time into doing something like working on a project for work or class, building something, or even trying to beat a video game. 

So I bought one of those bunk beds(双层床) from IKEA(国际家具品牌), oh, by the way, here's a fun fact - IKEA is a Swedish brand, as a lot of native English speakers pronounce it as【аɪ‘kiə】, but the proper Swedish way to say it is【i‘kiə】, now if you say【i‘kiə】 in the states, not many people will understand you, so let's just go with【аɪ‘kiə】. 

Now back to the bunk bed, I spent 2 hours assembling it, only to realize I mixed up the screws ! I had to take everything apart and start from scratch ! Man, that's so frustrating ! But I managed to get the job done, so it's fine. Anyways, today's word of the day is "from scratch", check it out !

没看懂？请自己查字典！
